Nanoplastics In Water Bottles

Last week my wife sent me a picture of a store bought plastic water bottle with visible particles in the bottom, see pic below. She strained the water through a coffee filter and ended up with a number of small plastic “shards” that she had seen floating around in the bottle. Other bottles in the same pack from the same brand had the same issue so we obviously dumped them out. I did a little research, sounds like this is a relatively well known but not well publicized byproduct of plastic packaging and pretty common. So I’m going to be drinking a lot more water from a a refillable cup or bottle going forward.
